Over tight shoelaces

colin

I'm not sure if this is neurodivergence related or not so here's the question.

I keep overtightening my shoelaces. I think I've always done it but recently been trying hard to not do it. I always do left foot first. Sometimes after doing it, I'll think it's too loose so I do the right tighter. I don't know if I have slight pain insensitivity or something but it often takes me some time wearing them to realise that something isn't right.

Anyway, the question: normal or not?

  • I also tie my shoes far too tight in comparison to many others. First, I have pretty narrow feet, but I think it’s primarily about a sensory thing for me. I don’t like my feet moving inside of my shoes, rubbing against the fabric with every step and slightly lift from the sole every time. The more pressure, the better. Unfortunately, this leads to me having sore spots on my feet sometimes because my shoes put too much pressure on them.
